Pencil This In

THEATER: It would be pretty boss if The Cherry Orchard Sequel – a long-overdue follow up to Chekhov’s play about downwardly mobile Russian aristocrats – involved the titular clear-cut orchard rising from the ashes to go on a rampage against their axe-wielding oppressors. But playwright and director Nic Ularu took things in a different direction, and the result sounds just as interesting. His story picks up again 18 years after Chekhov’s play ends, and finds the liberated serfs drunkenly staggering about in the looming shadow of revolutionary oppression. The Times’s Neil Genzlinger deems it “a sparkling surprise.” – John Del Signore
